As the webmaster for the concerts, I try to get to as many of the shows as I can to grab pictures and enjoy the great time. Yesterday, I was fortunate to be in attendance at the kick-off of La Jolla Concerts By the Sea‘s 28th season. Also, this year, my 16 year old daughter, Amethyst was helping out La Jolla

He took museum delivery (at the Corvette Museum adjacent to the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky) of a brand-new, top of the line Corvette Z06. He then drove it in ONE CONTINOUS loop to “ALL 50” United States. (Yes, Hawaii and Alaska too.)
